Wasn’t really thinking about Klaver in the context of period movies, to be honest. Lost the plot a bit.

Maybe Lieke Klaver has some hidden acting talent. She has a cool movie-star name, and she is six feet tall — taller than most of her competitors — and fit.

Francis Bacon (1909-1992), “Tryptich [sic] 1986-1987” (1986-1987), oil, pastel, aerosol paint, and dry transfer lettering on three canvases, 147.5 x 198 cm (each). Feel like Bacon’s paint application became increasingly controlled/cautious as he got older.
